(CBS) "Glee" star and potential Emmy Awards host Jane Lynch opened Tuesday's D9 tech conference with a deadpan introduction speech, speaking as the "acting CEO" of News Corp. and offering gigs on Fox shows to Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.

"As acting CEO, I'll be making some changes while the powers-that-be are abroad," she joked (Rupert Murdoch was in China on business, according to reports).

Her first acts of business? Nixing the iPad publication The Daily ("Never heard of it, never seen it, so clearly I'll be shutting that down") and incorporating a comics page into the Wall Street Journal ("I'm a big fan of 'Family Circus.' So seemingly mundane, and yet dripping with irony. It works on so many levels.")

"I'm launching a Fox News investigation into the young and fresh-faced cast of 'Glee,' Lynch continued, "I have some inside information and I don't believe any one of them are real Americans."

Her last jabs were saved for Beck and Palin.

"I've also convinced Glenn Beck to stay on at Fox for one final gig - as a dying patient on 'House' with a horrendous malady. His sickness is consuming him from the inside out," she joked. "Though not firm as of yet, we are pretty sure we got Sarah Palin to do a guest spot on 'Glee.' She'll be singing an original tune that I penned. It's called, 'Look at Me, I'm Bats--- Crazy.'"

"I feel pretty good about these changes," she said.

Let this liberal hater sit on a pile of cow poop and feel at home.... the stench would just blend in with the rest of her bile.

Oh wow... imagine that: A leftwing lesbian making fun of Sarah Palin and Fox News... What, was Sandra Bernhard not available? I suppose Jane feels all morally superior to the rest of us with her "Retard PSA," but she's really nothing more than just another tired Hollywood cliche.

dear choirboy
please go back to sitting on the priests lap

That would be my solution to raising the viewing audience on a TV awards show -- hire a caustic host(ess) who will keep a quarter of the audience away and lose another quarter when she first comes up with a cheap shot pseudo joke against the political party she despises.

Sarcastic attacks might work when they are built into a script and when they are directed against characters depicting high school kids, some folks don't think what has happened to our country is very funny. But that half the audience the Emmy's could have had will be squirming with mirth -- and that's what the advertisers want -- fewer, but squirming buyers.

Jane Lynch. Like, who cares what she thinks? It's taken her 50 years to 'make it.'

Typical liberal name calling. Yeah, Sarah Palin is bats...crazy.

Smart like a fox. Sorry, Jane - the 'Sarah Palin is dumb' act isn't working anymore. We see the fraud in chief for who he really is.

A fake. And you can't distract us anymore. The jig is up.

Wait, What...??? Did Sarah say something intelligent and nobody reported on it? I must have missed it. What was it?

If she did slip and start to sound educated and sane, her base would immediately condemn her. She has to act like a complete idiot to appeal to her base who wants someone just like them. Ignorant and reactionary.

Am I the only one that notices the left does nothing but call names. No solutions, no proposed solutions, just call those that propose solutions names.

[chiefbraveman]

Jane Lynch? Never heard of her. Is she another plug-ugly who is jealous of Sarah Palin?

[Ronjon7]

I think we should all believe anything and everything this gay liberal old broad has to say - that is, if you don't have a real life.

[pr_boxer]

I'd forgotten all about Glenn Beck, is he still living!

[icjunior97]

I like how people in politics from both sides pick and choose what they think the government should be involved in. No they dont want to be told to regulate anything...but when there is a social issue that they dont agree with...they first in line to regulate that...give me a break

[jenniferfry5]

Does anyone think Willow Palin is pregnant and Sarah is keeping her hidden? After all.... WHERE IS SHE???
